Realme 16: No Secrets Revealed by a Retailer

In a matter of hours, Realme 16 5G returns to the spotlight and this time we know almost everything. An online store has published images and specifications of the mid-range, with plenty of details – and the picture is now virtually complete.

The launch is planned for the coming weeks and – as a reminder – it would be the brand’s first model featuring a novel selfie mirror.

Realme 16 5G: after the images and the first specifications, here is the (almost) complete alleged technical sheet

The recently published images have given a first look at the possible design of Realme 16 5G. The distinctive elements are two: the overall look would echo the iPhone Air, Cupertino’s ultra-thin model, with a horizontal camera module.

The other novelty clearly does not come from Apple: inside the module there would be a small reflective space, a mini mirror to use for looking at yourself during selfies. This way the rear displays can be dispensed with, replacing them with a feature that is certainly cheaper than a secondary screen.

As noted at the opening, an Asian store has added the phone to its database, with an overview of the specs.

Besides “confirming” the full spec, the retailer also hints at a possible release window. Realme 16 is expected to surface in February, but a precise date isn’t specified.

Clearly this concerns the Asian market: for now the new Realme numeric series has not yet reached our latitude, so we must wait for news.
